Project manager
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
When you launch Godot, the first window you'll see is the Project
|
||||
Manager. Since you have no projects there will be a popup asking if you
|
||||
want to open the asset library, just click cancel, we'll look at it later.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: img/project_manager_first_open.png
|
||||
|
||||
Now you should see the project manager. It lets you create, remove, import
|
||||
or play game projects.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_01.png
|
||||
|
||||
In the top-right corner you'll find a drop-down menu to change the
|
||||
editor's language.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_02.png
|
||||
|
||||
From the **Templates** tab you can download open source project templates and
|
||||
demos from the Asset Library to help you get started faster. Just select the
|
||||
template or demo you want, click download, once it's finished downloading click
|
||||
install and choose where you want the project to go. You can learn more about
|
||||
it in :ref:`doc_what_is_assetlib`.

||||

||||
|
||||
Create or import a project
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new project, click the ``New Project`` button on the right. Here
|
||||
you give it a name, choose an empty folder on your computer to save it to,
|
||||
and choose a renderer.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_04.png
|
||||
|
||||
Click the Browse button to open Godot's file browser and pick a location
|
||||
or type the folder's path in the Project Path field.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_05.png
|
||||
|
||||
When you see the green tick on the right, it means the engine detects an
|
||||
empty folder. You can also click the ``Create Folder`` button next to your
|
||||
project name and an empty folder will be created with that name for the project.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you need to choose which renderer to use (OpenGL ES 3.0 or OpenGL
|
||||
ES 2.0). The advantages and disadvantages of each are listed to help you choose,
|
||||
and you can refer to :ref:`doc_gles2_gles3_differences` for more details. Note
|
||||
that you can change the backend from the project settings if you change your mind
|
||||
later on. For this tutorial either backend is fine.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you are done click ``Create & Edit``. Godot will create
|
||||
the project for you and open it in the editor.
|
||||
|
||||
The next time you open the project manager, you'll see your new project in the
|
||||
list. Double click on it to open it in the editor.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_06.png
|
||||
|
||||
You can import existing projects in a similar way, using the Import
|
||||
button. Locate the folder that contains the project or the
|
||||
``project.godot`` file to import and edit it.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_08.png
|
||||
|
||||
When the folder path is correct, you'll see a green checkmark.
